Reorganizing the liquor and cannabis board.

SB 6290 reorganizes Washington's single liquor and cannabis board into two separate entities: the Washington State Liquor Board and the Washington State Cannabis Board. Each board will have five members appointed by different authorities (e.g., House Speaker, Senate President, Governor), with distinct responsibilities for liquor rules and cannabis regulations, respectively. The bill creates a joint director to manage shared administrative functions like budgeting, HR, and IT for both boards while ensuring each board sets its own policies within its jurisdiction. This change aims to clarify oversight by separating the regulatory focus for alcohol and cannabis programs under a unified administrative structure.
